Default TOMS exhaust

anyone got the toms exhaust?

Im considering either the toms exhaust or this comapny called fox skyline, that manufactures diff exhaust systems for the cars

pros and cons for TOMS:

pros: its toms . probably will get more hp out of the car wiht toms than the other one. (can some comment on if this is true pls???) the toms dealer says almost 10hp ( he is probably just being a salesman!!)

cons: price, it isnt as loud as i would like it, but then again the dealer wasnt exactly revving the engine all the way


pros and cons for fox skyline

pros: cheaper ($500 less), sounds really good, very loud and aggressive
cons: i want TOMS but is it really worth it


Pls gimme feedback on wat ud do if u were in my case, and reasons to go /not go with either of them.

Tom's exhaust is just an axle-back, right? If so, then 5 rwhp is all you could get from it. To get more than that, you have to replace the mid-pipe and secondary cats.

Wow, it looks really nice! I like how they have the oval tips, but if the pan was chromed/polished it would be even better. I would like to get an exhaust, but I've been through that before and the noise is not worth it to me anymore.

the one from fox skyline i believe is a suimilar setup , cat back exhaust, that is that wat u mean by an axel-back?? secondary cats are where exatly? im assuming they are closer to the headers.


SO if all thats true then it really wouldtnt be worth it to go wtih TOMS? since ill have the same gains as the louder cheaper more aggressive fox skyline

pls that way i can still use my s2000 tips lol

I'd assume that the X would be where they join at the resonator & then split back apart...

toms noise is very minimal, its a subtle drone, thats the only thing i dont like about about it, but then again i dont know if ill begin to get annoyed by a loud exhaust after some time.

BUt if ur lookin for the subtle exhaust with a somewat better note, then TOMS barrel is for u

The secondary cats are located near the front of the car where the mid-pipe connects to the exhaust manifolts with integrated primary cats (we don't have headers).

The Megan exhaust doesn't have an X-pipe. It just has 2 Y-pipes separated by a large resonator.

Default Sound Clip - Exhaust Only - No Intake

For those of you that have seen this, it's the same one that I've posted before. And again, I am still unsure if he has the whole set up or just the back half because mine is louder for some reason. I'm sure my Injen intake doesn't help the fact that it's louder but I guess you can get an idea of the "tone" from these clips.

I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT I'LL GET SOME CLIPS OF MY CAR UP BUT I PROMISE I'LLL DO IT TONIGHT! HAHA...BUT FOR NOW THESE WILL HAVE TO DO.

I know its going to be hard to believe me..

But I have done some extensive DYNO Testing (using a DYNOJET system) and 16rwhp on the IS350 from the Megan exhaust or any exhaust is very, very hard get..
10-12 rwhp is very doable.

I assume your DYNO testing was done on something other than the Dynojet system...??
